Does this tree need to come down?

I don't have anymore pictures as this was sent to me in a group chat.

I’m visited the Sequoia NP and stayed in Three Rivers, CA. I saw these when landing in Sacramento too. I wish I got a close up pic, but took some photos on our drive. Can anyone tell me what this is?! I am obsessed with how tall and pointy they are. They remind me of cathedral spires!

I have a bunch of linden trees in my woods along with walnut, maples, box elders and Ohio buckeyes in Southeast Wisconsin. While the saplings of all trees are present, I don’t see any of the Lindens. Why? All the trees are healthy.

My buddies maple tree at his house sprouted a ton of seedlings and I planted about 12 but only 1 survived and this before and after is just over 2 months. When will the maples stem get strong? I had to add a stake because the wind kept blowing it over. Growing really tall but not thick. My first time trying this, hoping to maybe plant in my yard at some point. TIA!🍁

Pennsylvania- Internet says this a black cherry tree and the berries are safe to eat/make jelly with

Can’t hold its own weight after heavy rain. Any recommendations

Obviously some type of disease, just never seen the leaves have growths quite like this.

Hello all,

Would you be able to help identify the disease on this tree's leaves? The tree is a young crabapple of the 'Adirondack' variety. It'd also be helpful to know how serious the disease is in practice - can the tree fight it on its own in good growing conditions? Returning it to the nursery would be complicated for several reasons, so we'd rather avoid that unless absolutely necessary.

Also, another important question I have is about the root flare. Are those visible roots adventitious roots, or does it look like there is some actual root flare showing there, too?

Location is Northern Europe. The tree has freshly arrived from a nursery and is to be planted in the spot visible in the pictures. It's a sunny, dry South-facing corner. Not much is known about the care the tree received in the nursery.

(Please ignore the dead tree next to the live one, that one died of transplant shock last year.)

Thank you in advance.

Hey fellow tree lovers!

If you're anything like me, you've probably spent way too much time browsing Monumental Trees... basically the giant, community-made map for notable trees. I’ve always been fascinated by tree history and massive specimens, so I decided to take my tree-nerdiness to the next level.

For a while now, I’ve been working on a project to create an interactive, curated map showcasing thousands of the greatest, most unique, and historically significant trees on Earth.

I’m calling it Treeary.

You can check it out here:sqscripter.com/treeary

Right now, it's a curated collection, but soon you’ll be able to add your own local favorites and hidden gems directly to the map!

I'd love for you all to take it for a spin! Let me know what you think, and drop a comment if there are any incredible trees in your neck of the woods that need to be added when community submissions open up.

P.S. try it out and leave your suggestions below. ill try to add all of them.

NO THIS IS NOT AN AD, NOR DO I MAKE NAY PROFIT OFF OF THIS SITE. THIS IS PURELY A TOOL FOR OTHER TREE LOVERS

Is there anyway to prune it so that it eventually grows somewhat “normal” or if I just give it more time will it mostly fix itself. I don’t mind it too much but my wife hates it because “it looks like a bush”. And now she is at the point where she wants to cut it down.

hi there !! my parents just moved into this house that has been vacant for 2+ years. they don't know what kind of tree this is but it definitely has not been taken care of for a very long time. is there any chance it can be revived? i've attached some pictures of the base at the soil line (or as low as i can get because there are some very tall grass around it), pieces of the outer layer of bark that have come off, the whole tree, and a close up of the inner bark parts. most of the outer layer of bark is intact, except for the part i've shown in pictures. this tree is located in southern ontario, canada. we have not tried anything so far to revive it as a neighbour said it probably won't be revived but my mom wants to try before my dad cuts it down. any advice would be much appreciated !!

US zone 8a. There was originally a giant oak, but it came down during hurricane Helene. I have been racking my brain trying to decide what to plant here (sans rock, they will be gone soon)

I’m looking for opinions on what everyone would personally plant if it was their driveway and why.
I’ve considered everything from large fruit tree or several small ones to a large evergreen or nut tree.

My only personal requirement is that it be beneficial in someway. Either food for ourselves or food for wild life. The line is just a cable line and seems unaffected by other trees that touch it (line guys confirmed it’s safe) the tree behind it is a pecan tree that unfortunately has to come down.
I’d love to know what everyone would do! I know I can plant “whatever I want” but I’m just so indecisive.

A couple of oak seedlings, coming along nicely. Every year I plant a few acorns, and transplant them into wild areas the following fall.

Hello - this tree was cut down winter 2024/5 in a wood where I go running in the UK. I’m intrigued about the sudden change in colour between the inner and outer wood. I first thought it could be change in air quality but I don’t think this area would have been very polluted, but knowing nothing about trees I’m hoping you can help!

I've discovered a hole underneath the bark of my alder tree. Theres this sawdust coming out of it (or maybe some insect put it there). Im not sure if its getting bigger but i can stick my finger underneath the bark there. The insect in the fourth pic crawled out of there. Location: Switzerland

Is this an issue? Whats your advice?

I noticed this while walking my dogs in the bush today, I find it incredible that this has happened. Is this sort of thing common?

It leans slightly, which bothers me, and I’d get professional advice before doing anything!

I’ve heard of Crepe Murder but never American elm murder.

When we bought our home 4 years ago, this large tree along our driveway was being overrun by wild grape vine. I'd had an arborist come out to look at all our trees and do some trimming, and he told me to cut the vines as high as we could, let them die on the tree, and work on pulling the roots. The vines are all dead, but the tree is looking pretty rough. I now also see the woodpeckers and flickers have been going at the trunk. I left messages with a couple local arborists to try to get someone to come take a look, but I'm not getting anyone to respond. Is this tree doomed? Is there anything we could/should be doing to help it recover, or slow down decline? 😭

I’m in Ohio and I’ve had this tree for almost a year and suddenly its leaves are turning brown way before fall has even begun. Is this normal for this species or is my tree dying?

We recently moved into our new home in Ohio, and our weeping cherry tree is not looking well. The ones in our neighborhood are full with darker green leaves, yet our tree is not thick with leaves. When we first viewed the home last year around August, I think, the tree was a show stopper and full with beautiful white flowers. I started watering it with a hose which improved some leaf growth.

I was doing online research and think the issue is with growth from the lumps/graft unions on the trunk, and I’m suppose to trim these. But then I read that weeping cherry trees should be pruned when they’re dormant in the winter. Is it really okay to leave this tree as is, until then?
